Recent article from NHL.com at the half-way mark of the season.

Like I said, middle of the pack at 75 and I would argue that the injury to Kipper was the most significant of all teams injured players so far. |
You can slice the numbers anyway you want, more than half of the Flames injuries have been by either one player (Bouma 24) who has not played all year or two players who are AHL players who just happened to get injured in the NHL (Byron and Aliu totally 15 games). I said one of the healthiest, I did not say they were the healthiest. But compared to LA, Edmonton, Ottawa just off the top of my head they are a beacon of health.
Karlsson, Spezza and Anderson are all individually more significant injuries than Kipper and they happened to the same team.
